The yardage total looks nice, but he took sacks in critical spots. Have to either throw it away or try to run. Yes, the 300 + yards looks great but not his best overall game at all.

Line gave him no protection and the stats look even better than nice that he did all this with a dislocated pinky and not much of a run game. We probably had to scrap quite a few route combinations for his injury a couple early throws sailed as he adjusting for his injury 

In the span of 3 minutes, the Bengals went from 4th in the AFC to 9th.

So Bell gets flagged for taunting after pointing his finger. Robert Quinn of the Bears just sacked Rodgers and got up and did the discount double check thing while looking at Rodgers and no flag to be found. No consistency at all.

He's already outta here, I think...

Exactly.

We've seen this movie before.

This has happened in most of our wins (chase plays a big part), and Joe is getting destroyed back there in the process. Mixon also has a junk game after junk game because of the same line. RB time is ticking, they get over the hill qiuck.

I don't care about drafting Chase.  He was a fine pick and has a bright future ahead of him.

This team needed to do for the offensive line what they did for the defense and spend money on proven talent.  This is even more true with a young quarterback.  It's absolutely mind-blowing to me that they suddenly became big spenders in the last two offseasons and STILL half-stepped up front on offense.

You're not surprised, are you?

What are there...about 6 or 7 of these things that can be said will make them better, yet the continuously do them?

Just so you know, I was being a sarcastic downer when I said that.

The Bengals are like a bad drug addiction. You are always chasing that high, and you will never catch it...

It would be nice if that asshole would play his heart out in the 1st half.

Nagy made the playoffs twice with Mitch Trubisky...you think ZT could do that?

He has 2 years left.  Of course there's the proverbial MB 31 year saying . . "There's always next year!"

Night and day difference between father and son.

The second biggest mistake PB made, using his feelings over his intellect, was when he passed the Owner/GM baton to MB.

If not for Halle Berry as Cleopatra commercial, watching this game would have been a complete loss.

Sarcasm or not. Truth is truth.

Well shit, so we might finish with the better Div record and still miss the playoffs? Is that even possible, freakin impressive if so.

Yeah, but our QB also had a career threatening injury (can we say it's probably still affecting him, maybe?) and we still did little to help. Seems like the order of operations was backwards, protect the already critically injured QB, get a WR.

That's because the discount double check earns Aaron money which in turn is split 50/50 with the league (hidden contract agreement).
